@maea: Yes, he is one of the enemies from the past, but he is not the mage that got sent to the shadow realm by Atemu. He escaped from being sent to the shadow realm along with the other accomplices.
The Pharoah and Prince's Lover chapter 12:
The next morning at school: Yugi was beginning to get nervous as he sat in one of his classes, looking outside the window every now and then. He had tried to remain calm in front of his grandfather, not wanting him to be suspicious. So, he had gone to school feeling nervous and hoping everything would go ok today. He wondered what this person wanted with them and secretly hoped this was all a big prank that Ushio was playing on him. He looked over at the young man in question, Ushio resting his chin on his hand while staring blankly ahead. He shook his head before looking back at the board to write what the teacher had wrote on the board. Ushio hadn't bothered him in a long time, not since Yugi had declined to going out with him. Yugi was surprised that Ushio left him alone after that. Yugi sighed silently and tried to not think about the weird phone call, deciding to get through his classes first.
When class finished, Yugi got up, putting his books in his backpack and leaving the classroom. As he walked to his locker to change books for his next class, he decided that he needed to tell the others at lunch about the phone call, hoping it would be the right decision and maybe they could think of something that would help. When he got to his locker, he took out his cell and sent a text to Joey, Ryou, and Malik, telling them that they needed to talk at lunch and to meet at the same place under the tree. When he received confirmation texts back from the others, he put his phone away before exchanging his books for his next class and closing his locker, heading off to class.

At lunch: Yugi got to the tree first and sat down to wait for the others, pulling out his lunch his grandfather had made for him. He smiled, as he pulled another out and set it to the side. Ever since Joey and the others started to eat some of his lunch, Jii-san started making another lunch for the others to pick from and for Yugi to eat his lunch in peace. He actually hadn't minded them eating his lunch, but his grandfather had put that notion out of his head, saying Yugi needed to eat all of his lunch and that he was too skinny. That had lead to Joey making fun of his height and Yugi not talking to him for a week. He smiled at the memories as he started to eat his lunch, knowing his friends would be there soon. When he saw them walking towards him, he waved as he munched on his lunch. As everyone sat down and started pulling out their lunches, Joey looked to Yugi as he unwrapped a questionably looking sandwich. "So Yugi, what did you want to talk about?" he asked before he took a bite of the sandwich, not even looking fazed as the others grimaced at the smell of the sandwich. Yugi sighed before telling them about the phone call he had received a few days ago, Joey and Malik frowning and looking like they wanted to go tell the guy a piece of their minds, and Ryou looking concerned. "The weirdest thing about it though, was that he told me that we needed to stay away from Kaiba Corp. , and we don't even know anyone that works there." he said, Joey freezing slightly while Malik and Ryou nodded in agreement with Yugi.
A moment later, Joey shook his head and looked at Yugi. "They probably don't want us going there because there might be someone who knows who they are." he said as he wrapped his sandwich up, having lost his appetite. The others looked confused and worried, wondering if Joey knew someone at Kaiba Corp. , but didn't press for any answers. Joey looked at Yugi again, his face serious. "So, you said they were coming for us today?" he asked and Yugi nodded, making Joey sigh before looking at each and every one of them. "I think..... we should skip the rest of school again, I don't like this and I don't want to find out what they are going to do if they come for us." he said, getting up and throwing away his lunch. As the others got up and protested, Joey grabbed Yugi's hand and started towing him towards the school gates, getting a bad feeling about staying there too long. Malik and Ryou tried to reason with Joey, but he wouldn't listen and just kept walking to the gates. Even Yugi was trying to tell him to reconsider, but Joey shook his head, trying to form a plan of what he was going to do after he got Yugi and the others back to the game shop to stay safe.
As they reached the gates, Malik, Ryou, and Yugi still trying to tell Joey to reconsider, the group noticed that there was a van near the entrance to the gates, four large men standing near the van. Joey's grip on Yugi's wrist tightened when he saw the men look at them, the bad feeling intensifying as one of the men said something to one of his comrades. He saw one of the men pull something out of his pockets and look at it for a moment before looking at them again, nodding in confirmation to the other. Joey knew what was going to happen then, but he still wasn't prepared for it. In almost an instant, the men had went over to them and grabbed a hold of each of them, covering their mouths with cloths simultaneously. Ryou and Yugi screamed into the cloths over their mouths as they struggled, Malik and Joey fighting back. Malik managed to break free for a moment, screaming as loud as he could and trying to get away, but men they hadn't seen came out and grabbed him, putting another cloth over his mouth and nose. Joey cursed internally and looked for something, anything that would help, and saw the license plate of the van. It would have to do, and he didn't have anything else since the male's faces weren't very distinguishable. He did something he hadn't done in a long time, he sent the image of the license plate over the mind link he had with his Yami's. He hadn't been using it because he was afraid that they wouldn't even care after so long. As soon as he opened the mind link and sent the license plate image, he gasped as he received the feelings of his Yami's. They seemed to be bored as they sat filing papers, the secretary going on and on while sometimes flirting with them. Joey was kind of irritated about that, but was happy when his Yami's didn't even pay attention to the whore.
When he was sure he had sent enough of the license plate mental images to them, he felt the chloroform begin to take affect and he started to feel drowsy. As he drifted off, he noticed that the others had already fallen unconscious and were being carried to the van. The last thing he saw before he fell unconscious, was a logo for another company, unconsciously sending the logo to his Yami's.

Seth and Seto were sitting in the office, looking through files and the secretary telling them their schedules for the morning. Seth looked at his twin, smiling slightly as he saw that he looked just as bored as he was. He sighed, sipping his coffee and marking a piece of paper when the woman flirted with Seto again. She had done this ten times this morning and the woman didn't seem to be done trying even though they had shown no interest in her. Seth, in a childish moment when he hadn't gotten his coffee yet and was still groggy, had made a bet with Akefia and Atemu. If he could keep count of how many times the woman flirted with any of them, whether it be his brother or any of the others in their so called 'group of friends', they would gladly take over the duties of his and Seto's for the day, but if he lost, Atemu and Akefia, along with their twins, would get a day off on any day they wanted, without question. Seto had said it had been foolish to have agreed to it, but Seth was up to the challenge and didn't want to appear as if he couldn't handle such a challenge.
As they continued filing papers, Seth and Seto were snapped out of concentration went they felt something open that they hadn't felt in a long time. Seto groaned, clutching his head, as Seth just took it in, seeing the image sent to him over and over again, along with emotions that were not his own. He looked at Seto, seeing the same shock that he felt and grabbed a pen, writing down what he saw in the image. It looked like a license plate number, though he didn't focus on it, trying to see if what he was feeling was actually real. The mind link was open fully, Seth and Seto feeling and seeing what their Hikari was seeing and feeling. He almost smiled as he felt the annoyance the Hikari felt at hearing the secretary flirting with them, but something was wrong. A minute later, the mind link was closing again, Seth and Seto trying to keep it open, but their Hikari seemed to be passing out. One final image came to them and Seth drew it before it faded. He blinked, it feeling like he had just come out of a dream, before looking down at the paper. He frowned, seeing that it was a license plate number, and a logo for a very familiar company.
Seth got up, tearing the paper in half and handing the license plate number to the secretary. "I need you to go give this to Kairi on the fourth floor, tell her it's important and that I need every detail of information she can get me on this, understand?" he said and when he saw her nod, he walked out along with Seto, going down the hall to Atemu's and Yami's office. When he got there, Atemu and Yami looked like they had been working on something and looked up startled at their appearance before Seth held out the paper to Atemu. "Do you recognize this logo?" he asked and Atemu took the paper, looking at it and he blinked before looking back up at Seth with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, I do, and you should too. It's a rival company of yours, owned by Pegasus, remember? I had to look at tons of these logos when that whole conflict between you two started." he said as he handed the paper back to Seth, who nodded as if confirming something. Atemu and Yami looked at each other before looking at Seth and Seto in concern. "Has something happened?" they asked in unison and Seth looked up, nodding before Seto spoke. "We think someone had kidnapped our Hikari."
